Buying a Kei Car

There are various sources to buy a Kei car from.

• Local USA dealers
• Car aggregators
• Direct from auction in Japan

Importing covers car aggregators and Japanese auctions. See dealerships for local dealers.

A local dealer will be the simplest way to get a Kei car for first-time Kei car buyers. This will allow for you to test drive the car and easily get the title from the dealer. Typically, the markup can be $2000-$4000, depending on the condition but it saves about 4 months of work.
